In the previous post, you have successfully installed LEMP for CentOS 7.
In this article, we will add a website or domain to NGINX.
1. Configure NGINX
In the previous post we created a configuration file /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.d . Now we will further optimize this file.
First you create /etc/nginx/conf.d/block.conf with nano:
nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/block.confCopy and paste the following line of code:
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; expires 30d; }
location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
location ~ ~$ { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
location ~ /\.git { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
location = /nginx.conf { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }Save the file and exit nano. The meaning of this file will block access to special files/folders.
Next you create the file staticfiles.conf
nano nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/staticfiles.conf
Copy and paste the following line of code:
location ~* \.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso|eot|svg|ttf|woff)$ {
gzip_static off;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires max;
break;
}
location ~* \.(css|js)$ {
#add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires 30d;
break;
}The above code guarantees performance when NGINX handles static files.
Now open the default.conf file
nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Fix it with the following end result:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 172.104.118.97;
# note that these lines are originally from the "location /" block
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/staticfiles.conf;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/block.conf;
}
Next, we open the nginx.conf file:
nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Find the following line:
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;Edit to:
include /etc/nginx/domains/*.conf;Now restart ngix:
systemctl nginx restart
Add domain to NGINX
Remember to point the domain to your server.
You need to build a path rule where to save the website on the server.
Here I will save the website under the path: /home/nginx/your_domain.com .
In the above directory we will create 2 directories:
- log : contains the log for the domain. Here we will have a file error.log
- public_html : the directory we will install wordpress here.
For example, I will add domain to NGINX as follows: (replace my domain with yours)
mkdir -p /home/nginx/thuthuatwp.com/log
touch /home/nginx/thuthuatwp.com/log/error.log
mkdir -p /home/nginx/thuthuatwp.com/public_html
chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginxNext they copy the default.conf file to yourdomain.com.conf like this;
cp /etc/nginx/domains/default.conf /etc/nginx/domains/thuthuatwp.com.confOpen the file your_domain.com.conf and change the following:
Change the server name line to
server_name www.your_domain.com your_domain.com;Add the following line:
error_log /home/nginx/your_domain.com/log/error.log error;Replace line
root /usr/share/nginx/html;Wall:
root /home/nginx/your_domain.com/public_html;The final your_domain.com.conf file will look like this for your domain :
server {
listen 80;
server_name khamphaso.com wwww.khamphaso.com;
# note that these lines are originally from the "location /" block
root /home/nginx/khamphaso.com/public_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
error_log /home/nginx/khamphaso.com/log/error.log error;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/staticfiles.conf;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/block.conf;
}Now restart NGIX
systemctl nginx restart
Test again to see if the added website is working OK.
You create a file info.php in the directory public_html
nano /home/nginx/your_domain.com/public_html/info.phpAdd the following line of code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then visit http://your_domain.com/info.php if you see a page like this then OK:
The next websites you add, repeat the above step. Using VPS has no concept of how many websites like a shared host.
You can add delight. It is important to configure your server to withstand their traffic or not.
